Well, it can't be more of a disappointment than Season 5, right?

Premieres Wednesday. It's the final season. *sigh*

This series has really fallen. Hopefully we can end with a bang.

Such negativity. We have one season that was a little off (still had some great moments) and there is doubt that these writers won't deliver on the swan song?

Let me clarify. I'm an uberfan of The Americans but not an apologist for season five. I just think last season suffered by comparison and I was later surprised that the slow pace had nothing to do with the setting up of the final season. They really just overthought it. Here's a short wiki excerpt

Pacing of the fifth season was slowed down intentionally, but was not meant as a set-up for the sixth season. Weisberg and Fields admitted that they did not expect "this much of a backlash" for "hitting the brakes too hard". They were upset by criticism, but suggested waiting until the series is over, hoping for the response to become more muted in context of the sixth and the final season.

I can still say that season five contained at least six of my least favorite The American episodes.

It was way more than a little off. It was probably the most disappointed I've ever been in a TV show season in my life, especially given the stature and performance of the show in seasons 1-4.

Anyway, hoping they learned their lesson. This series deserves a bad *** Season 6.

Final Seasons (mainly the series finales) make me nervous. There seems to be more misses than hits. Some shows that I really liked left a sour taste due to bad finales (just to name a few that missed - Dexter, SoA, Mad Men, and The Sopranos, although I like it now better than I did when it first ended) so I'm really anxious to see how they end this. If they have a strong final season this could be a Top 5 series for me. That's what I'm hoping for.

My main complaint with Sons Of Anarchy was that

I had no problem with the last season of The Sopranos or even

.

Dexter started diving well before the last season.

Good first episode, IMO. Looks like it should be a good season to me. I like where it’s going.
